Amazingly warm this morning and dry since last evening, so I set out for a good long ride. I wanted to ride all the way to Mechelen, along the channel that runs from Leuven to Mechelen. Very flat country so I could make good speed. The wind was blowing fiercely in my back and later from the left, so after one hour I was already at Boortmeerbeek. But I had noticed some very dark clouds coming from the North (not a lot of good coming from Antwerp so that was not surprising) so had already decided to turn around at the midway point and head back, looping westerly around Leuven. The wind now came from the right obviously and after a while I fell the first drops of rain amongst the strong soutwesterly gusts.
Damn, good thing it was nearly 17°C (someone pinch me, it is nearly December, I must be dreaming) so the drops didn't cool me down but I was glad I was home because by now the drops had changed into a steady drizzle.
